Are our kids too trusting?

Can Our Kids Defend Themselves?
Lets face it, a 200 pound, six-foot
man can overpower a fifty-five
pound child almost any given
day. There is no way the kidnapped, assaulted child can fight
the brute strength of an adult.
This isn’t to say there aren’t any
self-defense teachings the child
should learn.
The best thing a child can have
going for them is a protective
parent who teaches more than
just the common “don’t talk to
strangers” rule. Be honest with
the children and explain more
than just “some people like to
hurt little children.” Think up
scenarios and rehearse them with
your child.. Parents also need to
teach their children to yell NO
and continue to yell. Teaching
this may seem like a foreign concept to many parents. The thing
is, many don’t know how to use
it in situations with other adults.
There is a fine line between being
polite and respectful to an adult
and knowing when to back away
and say no to unwanted attention

or touch. It is the child’s body
and they should have the right to
say who can and can’t touch
them. By teaching this to them in
a known, controlled environment, they will have a better
chance of doing the same in the
unknown.
If they are cornered, is there
some type of weapon they can
use? The child may be too small
to hit the assailant upside the
head but a good whack to the
knees; arch of the foot or toes
can sometimes slow the “bad
guy” down.
One of the most important
things a parent needs to make
clear to the child is to run away
and put as much distance as possible between them and their
assailant if they become free.

Fusion Self Defense Course
for Kids
This very unique course has been
created by LeAnn Stanhope from
the techniques that she learned
during her time in the Canadian
Military Police. The content of
this course is not allowed to be
taught in Canada as it is reserved
only for the Police forces.
This course is fantastic for kids,
Mums and Dads who are not
tough or aggressive by nature.
The skills taught in this workshop require little strength and
are designed to get an attacker to
stop long enough for you to get
away. It is a fun, interactive
workshop that includes, pressure
points, martial arts and holds that
will help you to get out of a
sticky situation.

Kung Fu Teaches Winning isn’t Everything
Children from ages 5 to 12
can benefit from Kung Fu
because it not only teaches
them self-defense, but develops important mental, social, emotional and behavioral skills such as:

The positive skills young
children develop through
Kung Fu training can then
carry over into other pursuits
in their lives and lead to effective study and work habits
that will follow them throughout their life as they grow up
and advance through their
schooling and enter their
careers as adults.
Traditional Kung Fu training
is ideal for the non-athletic
type. There are many who
do not care for team sports.
Some may have self confidence problems because
they are small, uncoordinated, shy, or afraid of being
pushed around. Pressure to
perform well can lead to

even greater loss of self esteem.
The advantage of Kung Fu instruction is that it can be individualized. It can help a child develop
confidence without worrying about
winning. Kung Fu training also
exposes them to Chinese culture,
as they study the art of self defense.
Fusion offers Kids Kung Fu

Rock the Abs Before the Kids Get Up!
I am a morning person. I
really like getting up and getting my workout over with first
thing in the morning. Turns
out there are many like minded
people here in DB! When I
started the Body IQ class
Thursday mornings at 6am I
thought there would be 1 or
two interested. I was stunned
to see 6 on the first day. This

class is about a good stretch
and a good workout for the
important areas—ABS! With a
more subtle thrashing of the
butt, thighs and upper body.
We combine Pilates, yoga, martial arts, stretching and a few
laughs to make a cracker of a
class that you will remember
the next day when you try and
sit up in bed. It is also a great

time to talk about nutrition
questions and training tips that
might help you with your training program at home.

Belly Dancing Your Way to Sexy Curves
Belly dancing is a hip new way of staying
fit in a fun and supportive atmosphere. It
appeals to anyone looking for a way to
break out of his or her old fitness routine. Belly dancing tones muscle while
accentuating curves and can be learned
by dancers of all fitness levels. Do a Belly
Roll
* Stand straight, with your knees relaxed, and put your hands on your hips.
* Suck in your diaphragm while you
relax your pelvic muscles.
* Relax the diaphragm while tightening
the pelvic muscles.
* Repeat over and over in a flowing
manner, while imagining that your navel
is making a full rotation: down, in, up
and out.

Belly Dance for Fitness
* Wear the right clothes. Belly
dancing clothing is suggested,
but anything loose and comfortable will do when you're just getting started. Belly dancing is performed barefooted.
*Trim your midsection, thighs
and hips while learning to
shimmy. Belly dancing is noncompetitive and stress-free.
* Get out what you put in. Depending on the length and frequency of your sessions you can
get a body-shaping workout that
firms and tones while strengthening muscles. Because belly
dancing is low-impact, chance of

injury is rare so dancers of all ages and
health levels can reap the benefits.
* Improve your posture and balance
through belly dancing by building abs
and strengthening back muscles. Learning to control abdominal muscles takes
practice and many strengthening exercises can be done anywhere, anytime.
